yea
but like i wanna play ranked casually
I play casual much more than ranked
cause casual is meh
i dont siege anymore unless people ask and when i play its more fun than sweat
but i can still sweat
ye ye
I like playing solo :p
i play other games now anyways
it's just fun to have a bunch of other people screwing around in casual
ranked too sweaty
people will yell at you for being a smurf xD
if I want to screw around in ranked, I'll go eu ranked
i had my smurf acct down to 0 elo at 1 point
I mean in text chat but yea
then brought it all the way back up to bronze
also you cant anymore
not with how mmr
I don't even have a smurf :(
rip
next season we'll see
so your elo will be the same
this season I have my fun
makes sense
they didnt say when
ohh
Epic Games has GTA5 for free until the 20th just a reminder
but I thought ping system is next season
its been delayed
Does anyone know if GTA5 is free right now? 🤔
@neon spire it’s free until the end of this month
@elfin field i know I was just joking cause it’s been posted so many times

Eh I already have gta5 on steam just can’t play it on a Mac sadly and don’t have my pc built yet
Cause I’m still figuring that out rn
On mac you can run Windows trough boot camp to play games but it is not fantastic
I have been running Oculus Rift S on a 1050Ti and it works for almost all the games we want but I don't want to buy Half-Life: Alyx and have it run terrible. Has anyone run it on a 1050 TI?
Thanks!
ye
1660 Super?
that would handle it fine
Thanks again.
sure
only 50% cpu/gpu load
@final horizon What kind of games do you play?
I'm looking into getting a Rift S and I also have a 1050 TI, but the card is a bit on the low end of things, and I'm not sure if it would run well.
I basically want to play FNAF help wanted, and maybe games like beat saber
Beat Saber, Super Hot, Boneworks all run great with the 1050 ti the fans don't even get loud. I wish I knew how much better it could look so I could justify an upgrade to the 1660 super or even 2060 to just have the Ray Tracing so help get some longevity out of the purchase.
@daring sleet The 1050 ti can run a lot of the games out there since the Oculus Quest can run them and are basically a smartphone processor. You will have a lot of fun.
@final horizon quest games are optimized for quest
they are not pc vr games
beat saber on quest is not the same as beat saber on pc
Thanks for clarifying. I never played the quest version.
i used a 1050ti for vr, from my experience beat saber was worse in comparison to using it on a 1070 (same headset)
ye
the 1050ti is aging quick though
they toned down the graphics a bit on quest
I am very pleased with the Rift S. What was better with the better card for Beat Saber? Anti aliasing? I want to convince myself to get off my wallet and upgrade but I need to be wow'd after spending $300 and putting the 1050 ti on a shelf.
i used a Windows Mixed Reality headset for my testing so take it with a grain of salt
but
tracking was much better and smoother on the 1070
sometimes with the 1050ti my saber would update after i swung it so it would just skip past the block
it was a mobile 1050ti btw just for clarification
but mobile 1050ti is about on par with desktop
Those are great points to consider.
experience may vary so pls dont get mad if you dont get the same results haha
but seriously
i thought VR was fine on my 1050ti, then i tried it on a 1070 and i was wrong
its a lot better on the 1070.
also, you might not have to drop that full $300 youre talking about @final horizon. Check out these deals on Ebayhttps://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=gtx+1070&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1
i picked up a Samsung odyssey plus for $180 back in October and i couldn't be happier. tracking is decent and display is so nice. Honestly WMR has become my main because of the screen quality, with some tracking upgrades you could have a really good budget vr headset
odyssey+ is currently $300
the Rift S has a lot of features over the odyssey+ for just $100 more
but for $180 the odyssey+ is a good deal
I am nervous to buy used...
yeah they had it on a flash sale for $230 and you got a $50 Microsoft gift card with purchases over $200
dont be used is the way to go
understandable
just be cautions
rift s has much better tracking, much better controllers, much better software, and much better support (at least by game devs) in comparison to the Odyssey+, but that does not mean that the odyssey+ is a bad headset.
rift s fan boy ^
no i would 100% go rift s if i had the money
😄
Reason: Bad word usage
but ebay is good
no other headset i would recommend for $400 techghost
tracking is bad on the wmr
Ebay does have buyer guarantee.
Oculus support is not great. The set is great tho
if there was a different headset for $400 that was actually good, i would simp for that instead
just buy index ez 
imagine having that money
rift s audio sucks, and is receiving no feature updates from Oculus.
actually i heard there was a new quest competitor in china
im not buying a headset thats not from a name brand
yeah but its not in na yet
yup
imagine if hand tracking got implemented into boneworks

lol...
it don't look very pretty tho
The audio is acceptable for what I use it for. I am not an audiophile. I was fine with Napster mp3 audio, no need for FLAC for me.
its acceptable all right
yes
my dumb arse thought it said iQuit
flac only
but the Oculus Rift CV1 had far better audio
so we just evolved backwards.
@calm reef
😐
Looks like my fire stick remote.
worse than Windows Mixed Reality controllers.
flac only https://i.imgur.com/o1MDxIB.png
My brain only hears 128kbps
hey easy on the wmr there
my brain only hear 192khz 
Bug brian
human eye can only see 24 fps
Unless you pay $1200 for a 2080 ti then you get an upgrade in your optic nerve.
im just saying you could buy 3 2080ti kingpins if you sell your kidney
just a suggestion
I need both.
you only need one kidney tho
True, but I have my kidneys in a RAID 1 configuration.
I knew what you meant. Haha.
I bought a rift s before they were starting to be sold out everywhere and i love it. the fact that i dont have to set up any cameras is great. also good for travel if you wanna bring it to a friends house that has a pc as well
We got ours on Black Friday. The built in cameras are great. I have to say one of my favorite apps is google earth VR. It is chill flying around the world.
epic games store: releases GTA 5 for free, ton of people get the game
me: I wonder why my game keeps crashing?
👏 well done epic games
Lol
is now a good time to buy a vr headset if I can find one in stock
Now is not a good time to buy anything
why is it a bad time to buy vr headsets
Because the virus is inflating prices
And it’ll take a long time to ship...
Everything is just way out of wack
rift s is still $400 on the oculus site
i was gonna wait for it to come back in stock and then get one
idc if it takes a while to ship
I want to get into VR gaming I want to play like shooting games where I can brutally murder people
ive heard boneworks and pavlov are pretty good
bone works is a fuego
it's not that it's a bad time to buy vr, it's that you will never be able to find one in stock
don't pay more than 400 for a rift s or quest
What’s the game that I always see on insta where they was like no no don’t touch me there this is my no no square
Hi guys, I am building my first PC, so I'm really lost here with my problem.....
go ahead
Hey thanks! first off CPU: R3 3200G, GPU: integrated graphics for now, Ram: 16G DDR4
my PC resets after so long
of being idle
What do you mean by reset? Restart?
It shuts off and goes to bios screen, it tends to go to the "windows has encountered a problem" blue screen with the ":(" face
before rebooting to bios i mean
then it loops between the Asrock bios screen and the Win10 loading screen
dang I didnt notice that text. Though I have seen that screen multiple times I only got a picture once, stop code:IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
sometimes it doesnt show that screen at all
hmm try this if possible
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14238/windows-10-troubleshoot-blue-screen-errors
I will give this a shot thanks
You're welcome, otherwise you can try the windows repair method here
https://www.howtogeek.com/131907/how-to-create-and-use-a-recovery-drive-or-system-repair-disc-in-windows-8/
I'm not having much luck at all, I can't get to safe mode or reset into Windows Recovery Environment either, I've gotten another stop code: "kernel security check failure" and one similar to the first except now: "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
I did find a forum with a pretty specific guide, but frankly I am having a real hard time deciphering what settings are where and how to change them.
@burnt atlas ideas?
it said...
So you need to check your SPD from "DRAM Timing Information" The last line you have should be something like 3600 or whatever your XMP Ram speed is. You will notice the usual "16-19-19-39" But also tRC tRRD_L/S & tFAW. Now for me these settings were incorrect tRC being auto'ed to 85 and tFAW at 44, with these settings left in auto in "Dram Timing Configuration". Make sure these settings match. 9 times out of 10 this will be your problem for boot issues as well. I should also mention if you are running higher frequency (3600mhz for example dual side RGB Ram and your fclk is not matching the speed (1800mhz) then you need to force it manually by selecting it in the bios for the time being.
Boot issues
So can you get into bios?
yes, am in it right now
the guy also said....
I have noticed that sometimes the problem stems from other settings being left on Auto such as SOC and VDDG Voltages. I Originally suggested at least 1.08-1.1 for soc However I have since found with the correct ram settings in place I can run 1.05 on SOC and 1.03 on VDDG voltages with no loss of performance. Never run your VDDG higher than SOC you will cause loss of performance. The only way to truly test what an ok voltage is to run a cinebench if you run one on auto voltages then another on lower voltages you should see no difference in performance. Also note that the boot order sometimes tends to forget itself. Make sure you have only the drive you want to boot from in the boot order if you have an Boot Partition left over on an old SSD and get rid of it.
Cold Boot Bug
One last thing if you notice a post code of some kind probably a 22 or the occasional 4F or 8d . This is due a cold boot bug and can only be worked around by hard powering off the system (Hold down power) and powering it before it does it for you and if you find it keeps stopping on a code the only thing to do is let it shut off and it will reset bios and load the saved bios again but hopefully with the correct voltages and settings you shouldnt be seeing much of the codes getting stuck at boot
Bad LEDs
If you have flickering LEDs or wrong colours or dead LED's its probably not your hardware going bad. Its probably the trash software. What you can do is reset the firmware. In the C:\Program Files (x86)\ASRock Utility\ASRRGBLED\Bin folder is a writefw file. open a command line to the folder and run the file. it will reset your firmware however the flickering if left on static will probably return. Ive had to leave my on slow breathe so it doesnt happen. I believe setting in bios may stop flickering since its better so if you have that option id stick with that but if you have too many LEDs for Bios to handle per default. Install Polychrome and set the LED number correctly so they light up, then uninstall it and go back to bios.
I dont know if any of this is useful but it seems somewhat relatable to what is happening to me
Have you tried looking in the ram settings relating to the first option?
Well, I can try to walk you through it.
What ram do you have?
I'm trying to find that info, but am not finding what it specifies
i get confused here
Now for me these settings were incorrect tRC being auto'ed to 85 and tFAW at 44, with these settings left in auto in "Dram Timing Configuration". Make sure these settings match. 9 times out of 10 this will be your problem for boot issues as well. I should also mention if you are running higher frequency
ram: 16GB kit (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 CL 16-18-18-38 1.35V
Can you take a picture of how your ram settings look in your bios?
totes, one sec
hmm, how do i send pictures? This is my first time on discord too btw..
think the files might be to big ill try it smaller
I dont know, it wont let me load images on here or the desktop app, how frustrating...
ah
DM the image to me and I'll post it if you want
hey thanks
The graphical issues are freaking me out.....
that might be an issue there
you said your kits were 16-18-18-38
thats 16-16-16-39 right now
I think you need to change the values
@twin kraken can you find the XMP profiles?
usually xmp profiles comes with the correct values
PC just stopped working, rebooting , one sec,
Alright.
my kits are 16-18-18-38 but which numbers am I changing? the top five from the 1st image? There are 5 spots for numbers but only 4 parts to my ram kit 16-18-18-38
@twin kraken Well, if you could find the XMP profile, that'll be an easy apply, but if you want to just change the numbers, in your bios, it splits up tRC into tRCRD and tRCWR, but both should usually be the same
so tCL to 16, tRCRD and tRCWR to 18, tRP to 18, and tRAS to 38
uh now it wont even boot to the bios... jst turns on, fans spin, then turns off then loops....
am I frying somthing at this point?
likely not
@twin kraken sorry for me being gone, was playing a game with a friend. Are you aware of how to reset cmos?
not at all
I'll explain the steps and what it does.
First, you turn off your PC, flip the switch on the back to make sure it's completely off. There is a small bios battery on your motherboard (sometimes it hides under the graphics card), you take it out. Then you press the power button on the case a few times to help discharge the power. After a few minutes, you put the battery back in and start as normal.
What this does, is basically reset your bios, all the settings back to default, and clears it out.
tried it once, no luck, perheps I didnt wait long enough before powering back up trying again
Make sure the switch on the back of your PSU is switched off
will do
I swear I did everything the way you said, but it is still stuck turning off/on no image loop....
weird
im walking away from this for awhile... feeling defeated at the moment, I will revisit in a few hours and let know what happens, keeping everything unplugged switched off for the time being.
back in
I changed the settings, not much seems to have changed, yet but I was able to get it to boot from my win10 usb drive, but its stuck on a black screen with the blue window, no loading bar or nothing....
Reset the CMOSS
It will unapply any and all changes in the BIOS
There's either a button on your motherboard somewhere, or there is two pins your supposed to short
the pins will be labeled CTC something.
I think my graphics card is covering mine at the moment so I can't show it
If you needed to short the CTC pins, all you need to do is hold a metal object against both prongs for a few seconds (usually 5).
It will either start up on its own, or you manually power it on.
Well, thankfully I am able to get into the bios menu and change values and such. I haven't had any of the graphical anommallyies as earlier. I also reset the CMOS , battery and such (should I get a new battery?) Is the CMOS seperate from the CMOSS?
but....
I can't get it to boot into my Win10 boot drive (that has worked 3 times so far of my trying to install Windows on this PC so far)
it gets to the windows logo screen but does not go past, should I wait for a longer period of time? It had a bunch of anomalies going on if I waited to long sometimes though. But as of now haven't seen them yet. Could my flash-drive have gotten corrupt in all of this hullabaloo? Is there some drivers I need to install before I try to install Windows? There is a support cd that came with the MOBO but I didn't notice anything to important on it, but as I am new to this, is there something I could've looked over?
was wondering if any one knew this question my fps is like above 100 in cs go and my monitor on my laptop is 144hz so when i turn on tripple buffered in cs go and motion blur on my frames drop below 144 fps and drop to around 110 fps but its smoother so my question is when u record to youtube u want your recording with motion blur and tripple buffered vertyical sync on right?
or will the game act smooth with out motion blur or vsync off
and higher fps
Not sure but do remember the footage you upload to say YouTube is limited to 30fps @cold helm
but when i click on youtube videos it says 60 fps 1080p on some videos and others like 4k 60 fps
or u mean they compress it
pretty sure they compress
but iirc I upload 30fps footage
even though I record 60fps footage
i believe it uploads at 60 fps
i havent done youtube in a while tho
but im pretty sure i always got 60 fps
yea i record at 4k 60 fps and then when i hit the cog wheel to see video quality it says 4k 60 fps
it did a looooong time ago but i dont think it does anymore
it could also limit it if you're not a partner or something. 🤷♂️ I was a partner when i was doing youtube
same here strategist say the best practice for youtube is to create 1 topic on your channel and make a lot of content for that specific topic but i do random stuff on my channel
as well
I upload games
but a bunch of different games
whatever I play
mostly siege
and some war thunder
war thunder is one of the best games ever created man
u know can set the video etting i forgot its either epic or movie
anyways
when u fly your airplane in a dog fight
that games so fun
tanks are really good a lot of people dont know the idea about the tank part
what i do is
stay behind a mountain
and zoom in
and take a cannon bullet to the top of the tank
"enemy tank"
Soviet tanks don't have great gun depression so I don't like the high ground strat
bc cresting over the hill I can't have my gun pointed at them
and they can easily shoot my vulnerable underside
yeah but soviet bias
some people just go out in the open or travel but i camp and get alot of kills once a lot of enemy tanks are dead i proceed to be more aggresive then finish off with the team
I rush a lot
It's more fun rushing
well not quite rush
I don't go in light tanks
I rush OBJ with a heavy tank
well tanks from each nation have their own quirks
but yea i upload at 60 fps 4k for gaming for benchmakrs i do 1080p 60 fps but this is a test so i think youtube has upgraded to 60 fps
lemme check
because all of my more recent vids were uploaded from basically raw footage
random clips
that are 60fps
huh
since when did I record in 30fps
oh you gotta be kidding me
Trimming it down makes it 30fps
raw was 60fps
im going to use 2 programs the one u linked geforce experience recording and xsplit game caster recording brb
the built in windows trimming cuts it down :p
guess I'll actually have to use some editing software
so for both nvidia geforce experience and xsplit game caster the bit rates are about the same thats good so basically both are equal in quality for recording and they both use the gpu encoder
This is what I meant with the gun depression thing, my gun couldn't depress enough to aim at them, thankfully the armor on the IS2 is good so it bounced the shot.
Civ VI is free on epic games
Ahhh war thunder and the is-2 the tank that haunts my nightmares
Uh German tanks and American planes rn
I forgot what BR is the is-2
I’m up to 4.0 on my tanks but I’ve played against those is-2 and their fun XD
Lmao
maybe some day
I like the idea of Quest but I have a lot of people using the Rift S so I was worried about having to wait for it to charge between uses.
I can't wait to see what del mar is going to look like
Do you have a quest?
no, but i want to get into pcvr eventually
quest charging is annoying
if you use the quest for pcvr and use a good cable it will charge while playing but then you're tethered to your pc
also the image is compressed
also its buggy
This might be slightly off topic, but Civ VI is free on epic games launcher right now.
-_-
Anyone know why valorant frequently crashes on me? I got a 1060 6gb and all the newest drivers and stuff
I have intel pentium e5700 🙂
NEW VR HEADSET LEAKED
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
this one was made in partnership with HP, Steam, and Microsoft
to me it looks like the Rift S mashed up with the Index and WMR
im actually very excited for this
it looks like it took the headphones and head band from the Index, the tracking camera placement from the Rift S, the controllers for the Rift S (minus, the IR based tracking, boohoo) uhhh
Why more wmr tho
I don’t like wmr 😦
why
Because most of what wmr brought us is trash, mostly the tracking tho
Maybe they fix who know
tracking is sub optimal
but by the looks of it, the new hp headset has at least 4 cameras
maybe 5
they advertise "no compromises"
and developed with Steam
valve*
so like
the headphones look like the same as the Index, which is a HUGE step up from any other audio system, the controllers look ergonomic (although chunky) and the grip buttons look analog which is way better for immersion, the button layout is the same as oculus so devs dont have to make specific layouts for WMR, the comfort of the headset looks great with the head band design, and the HP Reverb has one of the higher resolution panels seen in VR headsets so this will either be the same or an improvement as it is a direct successor to the HP Reverb.
lets hope it has a reasonable price tag or else it will probably go under the radar of most people again
Damn comp valorant is intense
you haven't been in pain till you reach the 120min mark
@coral idol I had the pain of the 50min mark
Hello
Hi
Hello! How is everyone doing today? Does anyone happen to have an idea when the Valve Index will be back in stock on Steam? 🙂 Thanks!
Anybody here play Wolcen using a 5700XT?
Having a weird issue in Wolcen where CPU is pegged at 100%, but GPU is like 30-40% and running very low freqs. CPU is 9700K, GPU is PC RX 5700XT. It runs all other games perfectly (GPU maxing out at like 80-99% with 17-1800Mhz) but Wolcen just Efs it up for some reason.
Seems it's just a CPU bottleneck in wolcen, the CPU get hit harder than the gpu..
oh my god i want this vr headset so very bad https://www.starvr.com/product/
according to all the reviews ive seen, it covers the entire human FOV with no distortion like PiMax headsets have
and the panel is OLED for good colors
also it has eye tracking
LOOK HOW LARGE THE LENSES ARE
too bad its like $3.5k... plus you need to buy controllers and trackers separate...
lol
i have no idea how they managed to even fit tobii eye tracking in that thing
the lenses take up so much space
i cant believe that thats even possible right now

RDR2 or Jedi Fallen Order? Trying to decide what to use my $10 coupon on in the Epic Store
I personally would do rdr2 :p
Thanks. Seems to be the overwhelming favorite in most Discords I asked. I have no dog in the race; just wanna get the most gaming for the money with the coupon.
RDR2 does have the multiplayer part after the campaign that seems fun
my friends left index controller is drifting with a 15% dead zone after less than a year of use
sorry
less than half a year
even worse.
Does anybody have any recommendations for strategy games currently on sale? Thinking about hopping onto something new
@unborn ember Civilization VI is free on Epic Games store right now
sorta strategy i guess?
Ok, so after much headache I am returning my mobo PSU and RAM to newegg. Planning on doing more research and purchasing alternative parts. I'm going to stick to my R3 3200G for now, but down the road I would like to get a R5 3600/GTX 1070 for regular gaming and some light VR. So with that said how would a R5 3600/GTX 1070 combo do with VR? 1080p 90fps is my goal, even at lower settings I think I would be happy. I honestly don't play to many modern games but have recently caught the itch for VR since I saw there was a new Half-Life, Asgards Wrath looks awesome to! So if anything I'm looking for a casual build that wont break the bank, but will give me a good first impression with VR (still have never tried yet) I would like to play some modern games to, as my PS4 recently WLOD'ed on me. I'm also curious if there is a decent Mobo around $100 that I would be ok to use my R3 for now but then eventually a R5. Would a GIGABYTE B450M DS3H do ok? I just don't want to regret buying an older board later down the road when I take the plunge for VR
Yeah that board would work. I wouldn't put a powerful Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 on it, but it should be decent
And that combo is good for VR
I'd say spend a little more money and get something like a B450(m) PRO4 instead. I've heard Gigabyte boards can be iffy
@twin kraken
Interesting, that is the exact board that I am returning(B450M PRO4). I had some unsolvable problems. Though, there are a number of issues that could have been "user error" But at this point I am curious as to compatible alternatives. I am leaning towards just trying the board again fresh though. Also noobie question, when building the PC should I use both an anti-static mat and a wrist strap? Or just one or the other? Also, would a 550W PSU be sufficient? @gilded lion
For a 1070, probably
A PRO4 didn't work? huh. I've used that board before and loved it.
You don't need that anti static stuff, but some people like to have it. I've personally never used them on any of my builds
If you have an ATX case this one will work for like $30 more ^
Looks in stock to me....
That Gigabyte one looks like the most reasonable for the price board rn though since everything else is overpriced or OOS
mobo market looks pretty bad rn, Aorus M only decent priced b450 mobo.
got it, guess I should look for an aorus m or a pro4 at a reasonable price then?
Wait where are you?
MI, why?
uh I'd say so.
cool, ill keep my eyes peeled
I just bought an Oculus Rift S
noice

valve lenses, valve headphones, 4320x2160 resolution compared to the valve index's combined res of 2880x1600
that is AWESOME
AND ITS ONLY $599
this is actually so exciting
RIP Vive Cosmos, RIP Valve Index, RIP literally every other headset on the market lol
ok for clarification
the reverb g2 has a resolution of 2160 by 2160 per eye
the Rift S has 1280x1440 per eye, and the index has 1600x1440 per eye
the Reverb G2 is only 90hz compared to the index's 144, but its also $400 cheaper with much better resolution.
it also has a longer cable than the Rift S
same length cable as the index
oh and it also has manual IPD adjustment
screw the rift s, im hopping on the Reverb G2 bandwagon
now i just wonder how the tracking it
also i don't love the controller design
other than that it looks interesting
@calm reef tracking was fine on my old wmr headset, this can only be an improvement i assume
hopefully
you already posted that in general...
so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just did some math
my math is wrong
one sec
alright
the cost of the Reverb G2 = the cost of the Valve Index after 1440 hours of usage as each controller takes 2 AA batteries, and based off of this
https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Batteries-Double-Battery-Alkaline/dp/B079GXSFPB/ref=pd_lpo_121_t_1/146-4541899-6796550?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B079GXSFPB&pd_rd_r=37a07a50-7e28-4b3a-b261-777f9384befd&pd_rd_w=C7FSp&pd_rd_wg=ezQNR&pf_rd_p=7b36d496-f366-4631-94d3-61b87b52511b&pf_rd_r=WJ43NTM6072VCYY9YG4D&psc=1&refRID=WJ43NTM6072VCYY9YG4D
each pack gives you 72 hours, and you could buy about 20 packs with $400, meaning you break even at 1440 hours of usage based on a 6 hour life span for each controller.
That's the one design issue with the G2. LED based tracking is not the way to go, they should have done infrared light inside out tracking.
or just rechargeable controllers
Hello, I am a content producer in Singapore with a youtube Channel may I know how to contact the Marketing to potentially explore featuring your products on my channel?
@harsh bane would have to contact @terse lynx
Does anyone have a guide or settings set up for a specific GPU for modern warfare?
If anyone wants to play overwatch pc just @ me im bored
Does anyone have an Oculus Rift S with a GTX 1050 Ti and upgraded to something better? If so, can you tell me if you saw a dramatic difference?
1050ti is cutting it very close with vr
@halcyon fossil might of used a 1050ti or something close with a rift s tho
I currently use the 1050 Ti with Rift S and it works well for most games but I want the opinion of someone who had it and upgraded. Loved it or buyer's remorse and could have spent $300 - $400 on something else.
i had a 1050ti and a different VR headset. I upgraded to a 1070 and a Rift S and it was a huge difference for me.
@halcyon fossil What was the biggest difference you noticed?
Going from 1070 to RTX 2070 Super was way better for me lmao
yeah i wanna upgrade too tbh
drop all your money when 3000 series comes out
@onyx grove I finally figured out how to do clash
Whatcha doing outside there buddy?
having fun in a 1v1 with a friend
got autopicked clash
hes actually good at the game
not too smooth
I mean, you got the shield cover more or less.
She doesn't put it back at a constant speed if I remember right
A friend shared this earlier:

Hello Everyone, in today video I'm so excited to show you what modding Rainbow Six Siege looks like. Game Mod is basically alteration by players or fans of a video game that changes one or more aspects of a video game, such as how it looks or behaves. Mods may range from small...
Is it as crazy broken as it looks?
eh we didn't do shields
but we had fun with acogs on weapons that shouldn't have acogs
Nice
I was thinking it would be great to get an entire squad with mounted turrets and just shread anyone who tries to come in
Can you play Mr. Bear
Here was us using ela shotgun acog lol
Wirra
The gui 🤣
also, I kept making him think I was cheating lol
little did he know, my music was the source of my power
How can you cheat in something this broken?
Lol I dunno
I don't think anyone even have cheats for 1.0
It's like 8 years ago
@spice ravine also rainbow is magic isn't an option yet :(
Can't play it
There's 1.0, operation chimeria, operation blood orchid, and something else
Hopefully they get magic soon. That was beautiful
You can play outbreak tho I think, if you play Chimeria
@spice ravine they added rainbow is magic lolol
Woot!
We're playing golden gun using the stolen goods gamemode lmfao @onyx grove
That's awesome
is half life alyx worth it?
yes
i give it 9/10
would be full 10, but the parts where youre forced to teleport are immersion breaking to say the least
other than that the story is fantastic, its incredibly well adapted for VR, its what youd come to expect from a valve game
@minor kite what specs is ur pc and what vr headset do you have?
I have both a valve index and a rift s, I'd prefer to get it on steamVR, and my specs are way too OP for any video game
saw ur nickname, dont know wether to believe it or not lol
but if it is true, then u will have no issues running it.
also its only sold on Steam, both the index and the rift s will work with it just fine
use whichever headset is more comfortable to you
index has much better audio and a nicer screen which will make the game better to experience probably
k thx, just wanted to know if it was worth the time to play it (:
I think you'll need at least another 2080 ti
Anyone know why FPS is so low despite utilization being low? Know that GTA is annoying sometimes, but IDK what this'd be from
specs: 6700k/16GB RAM/1080Ti
monitor: 3440x1440@100
game settings: mostly very high, including most things enabled in Advanced Settings except Shadow Distance
and yet in other areas it works fine... What is even the bottleneck here?
Maybe it has to load something?
no, pretty steady in the 65 +/- 5 FPS in that area. Before was quite steady in the low 40s with a bunch of stuff going on. Which kinda sorta makes sense to have lower FPS with more stuff going on but not really when utilization was in the mid 40s as well for GPU and CPU never seemed to peak 70 per core
hei, quick google search with some common fixes, update bios, check ram to see if its running at correct speed, and then try installing proper chipset drivers
they also said reinstalling gpu drivers might help
obv with DDU in safe mode
yeah looks like a driver issue, or gta just being gta and not the best optimization
oh wait could be driver issue. I uninstalled Experience and havent done drivers in a while
what was even weirder is that a lot of the time GPU utilization followed FPS pretty well. Going into pause menu allowed it to get lots of FPS (180 or smth at ~95 GPU util). But like 40 - 50 GPU util got me 40 - 50 fps, 70 - 80 GPU util got me 70 - 80 fps
This one was from 2 days ago I made way more progress then this
Bro i just got this blue yeti mic and it only buzzes when I play a game and its so annoying I've been trying to figure it out for the past like 2 weeks can someone help me please
@safe garnet the servers are overall laggy lately
doing offline cuz online is a waste of time tbh. Unless private server
Eh, probs. But I never really bothered to go much further then getting the 100% legit version of the game, so online would be extra money to spend and I never seen it as worth it
@thorn stirrup I forgot the name of that game what is it
Deliver Us The Moon
Hello all

On the nice note at least my PC still works well. RDR2 works properly with 100% GPU
Recently tried MC shaders again only to find nothing hitting really even 80%+
So it was kinda annoying and was wondering if PC was killing itself and sent like "eh, lets just try my most demanding game I have"
Whats yall's opinion on the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite? I've got just about enough for it. The Cosmos Elite came back in stock on Amazon, but I don't want to get a Valve Index because it's backordered 8 weeks.
I think @halcyon fossil might have some opinions on it
cosmos elite is okay, kinda pricey for what you get though. also vive wands suck.
other options include the Valve Index, and the HP Reverb G2
hi guys what you think about Dell G5 15 SE with AMD Radeon™ RX 5600M and AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Mobile. Is that better graphic card than rtx 2060?
idk about the gpu but thats one hell of a cpu
Anyone have an idea when the Valve Index stock might be replenished? 🙂 Hope everyone is doing well.
@nocturne crescent interest of VR is at its peak rn and manufacturers cant keep up especially with the release of Half Life Alyx and COVID19 causing production to slow down, so it might be awhile.
If youre looking for an alternative, the HP Reverb G2 was just announced and is shaping up to be one of the best headsets, but id wait for reviews
Yeah, 100% on all of that. Was just curious of anyone had some insider information hehe 🙂
lol
HP Reverb G2 . Interesting. Let me check it out! Thanks 🙂
Whoa I looked it up. Yeah it seems quite impressive!
Last I heard I think shipping was estimated for July ish
@vast rose perf should be the same, but AMD does have a slightly higher power consumption then Nvidia. So potentially worse battery life, louder fan, or higher temps are some things that could happen from GPU. Also note lack of NVENC encoder for video encoding

@safe garnet i think i should stick buying acer helios or a lenovo y540 what you think both with rtx 2060
Asus A15 is another 4800H/2060 laptop @vast rose
Asus A15 is another 4800H/2060 laptop @vast rose
@safe garnet yeah but im looking something in stock right now. asus till august by luck on amazon will be my first laptop im looking for: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15: Ryzen 7 4800HS, 1TB SSD, 16GB, RTX 2060, 15.6" 240Hz FHD, Lenovo Legion Y540 15.6" FHD IPS 144hz i7-9750H, 16GB, 1.5TB HDD+SSD RTX 2060 or Lenovo Legion Y540 15.6" FHD IPS 144hz i7-9750H, 16GB, 1.5TB HDD+SSD RTX 2060
those are in stock
I would wait until a review of the 5600M comes out tho before not considering it unless you need NVENC
maybe on christmas i can get a15 , but now i need something like those which one you recommend
or a review might be out now, havent really checked
i will be playing jjust gta V, xplane 11 and some photoshop and illustrator (not heavy tasks)
G15 does get the most perf out of those other ones
really? we can compare that 5600M with rtx2060 ? but as you said temps will go up and worst battery will you sacrifice that?
It can. But that is comparing with desktop and smth like I think 5% - 8% higher power consumption. Could very will be different on mobile due to different power targets and such
not to mention thinking about it, battery life wont change to much as you'll rarely be gaming on battery and when doing other things on battery like watching videos or whatnot you're going to be using the iGPU from the CPU
Oculus Quest is in stock. is it honestly worth the money?
oculus quest is okay, for $400 you get everything you need to play full VR games with great controllers and roomscale 6DoF.
my warnings, current games have to tone down their graphics to play on the Quest, so it might not hold up for future games, however Oculus Link allows you to connect it to the PC so you can play anything you could play on a PC.
more notes, finger tracking is not a selling point, its a gimmick for the Quest. Cool tech demo, but should not be a selling point.
Also, the screen is only 72hz which might not be great for everyone.
The headset itself is front heavy and the audio is sub-par.
Around September this year Oculus is expected to announce a sort of Quest 2 which is expected to fix all the issues of the current Quest such as the comfort issues, the low refresh rate scree, buggy Oculus Link, and some nicer upgrades such as rumored 90hz standalone and 120hz when plugged into a PC.
soooooo
you might wanna hold out for that to come out, but idk
the other option at the $400 price range is the Rift S which is a lot more comfortable, 80hz screen, higher tracking volume with the 5 cameras vs the Quest's 4, however it retains the sub par audio, and lots of people have issues with it however i have not experienced any issues that I would not have without another headset.
also its not standalone which means it needs a PC.
oh, another thing, the Oculus Quest has hardware based IPD adjustment which makes it better for people with not-average IPD. (IPD stands for inter-pupillary distance, or the distance between your pupils measured in mm.)
The Rift S has software based IPD adjustment, and it fits most average IPDs, but if youre not average, then Quest might be a better option.
For just $200 more than the Rift S, the HP Reverb G2 is shaping up to be a much better value headset, however I recommend you wait for reviews as the last HP Reverb had a ton of quality control issues.
One final note- the Quest has a huge modding community which helps solve some if its main issues. Theres a bracket you can attach to use the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap which solves the comfort and front heavness and the audio issues, most of the issues present with the Quest, however deluxe audio straps are kinda hard to come by and cost around $100, so that, plus the Quest, plus the bracket you need to mount it ends up totaling $525 which at that point for just $75 more the Reverb G2 i was just talking about would be a much better experience assuming you have the PC to power it.
jesus christ i feel like i just typed an article
r/walloftext
Yup
did someone say vr
haha\
Submit that to a tech site
no spelling errors, im smort.
Zach knows his vr chat
no i dont

@warm spade if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
also full disclaimer, i have not used the Oculus Quest, but everything i just said is roughly the popular opinion/issues all reviewers say it has.
i have used the Rift S though
wt community tho
your own squad doesn't count
LMAO
nice
so the chat went like this
"gl hf"
"no"
"oh ok" then my teammates all crashed on purpose
yeah they did it on purpose
also, i hate how u can flip over in tanks from bombs now
literally, a single 500 lbs did this to me
I dunno lol
also yes my graphics suck
but I also didn't know you could trade in tanks until a bit ago
bc I thought hitreg was instant
trade? like marketplace trading?
trade as in kill each other
planes you can see tracers tanks not so much so
also, this was a painful night for me
fr
im so glad i spaded my tier 6 jets, im already like halfway through the f86k
well, not my cl-13a yet
spaded?

i swear, the f104 looks like a banana
Noodle boi

lmao
im flying my 5.7 premium spit rn
trying to get british jets
with prem acc, i get like 12k per victory, its insane
12k rp
bro, i hate the air rb community
so toxic
i was on this he 162 for like 10 km, i finally got his wing and his gear, he was about to land then this p59 on my team just swooped down and 37mm'd him, then when i told him he stole my kill all my teammates were like "stfu you idiot"
the p59 is the only person on our team and he wasted his ammo and his fuel stealing my kill
gg
oh well
nice
1 kill lmao
premium op
its so dumb how good prem account is
and im using a 15% rp booster
fr
tank rb is so poor rn
but like, 2 premiums in ur loadout and u become a god sl grinder
okay it was 50k but if I had premium
81k with prem
only 4k rp
no booster, my best tank rb game i got 120k prem
ikr
i only got 8k rp that game too
only, for a 12 kill, 3 plane, 2 zone cap game
lol
i think it was 12 kills
i cant remember
battle time was like, 13 minutes or something crazy like that
ground rb should be fun
it SHOULD be
t34-57 is such a good tank :P
decent pen
like no bullet drop
I got 6 kills with it in a 6.0 game
over the years ive spent a couple dollars on wt, and i picked these up for ground rb loadout
and it is absolutely AMAZING
320mm heatfs pen at 6.7
lol
and the he 219 has the 2x30mm mk103's with 102mm of pen
best I have is 200mm aphebc at 5.7
APHEBC is a good shell, but only 200mm is pain
its like a 30 sec reload
like fr
I'm fine with 150mm 8 sec reload
but is2 reload hurts
i have APCBC at 5.7 on my panther A with 192mm
I hate panthers
then theres the leo 1 at 7.7 with 400mm heatfs lmao
panthers are honestly super good
the bullet drop is almost non-existant over a distance
i mean, not as much as like, apfsds
but its really awesome
cant pen their front with my tanks lol
I hate it
also, is smoke client side?
like smoke from fires
i dont think so
guess I'm just unlucky
not hide behind fires
ok that was a weird glitch
that was really weird, i fire and saw a really long red line stretch across my entire screen
bruh
yea
hi is this a good deal ASUS - 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 512GB SSD - Fortress Gray for 1000$? and then i just upgrade from 8gb to 16gb the ram?
that doesnt sound all that great to me
for $1000 i think you should at least get 16gb of ram...
other than that its okay, good GPU and CPU, but lacking in storage capacity.
this is the most expensive thing I've ever unlocked and it doesn't even seem that good
broom
@halcyon fossil laptops with a 2060 are like $1500 tho
and it's 2/3rds the cost of it with lower RAM
@vast rose based on all other parts it's a decent buy. Im assuming Zen2 Ryzen (4000 series)?
o ok then
a
b
c
d
e
I ordered an Oculus while it was in stock and its says it is "on hold" what exactly does that meean?
bruh
you messed up the alphabet D:
maybe the order is on hold or they are holding one reserved for you?
@warm spade it probably sold out again lol, either that or they got so many orders theyre processing payment and its taking forever
crazy chart here
bruh
looks about right
Whats your highest kill valorant game zack?
close to 40 i think
@manic mural i feel bad for u
180k sl is CHEAP
i bought 2 things over 300k today
and im gonna buy something for 1mil tomorrow or the next
@eternal moth try not having premium
Lol
Morning everyone, one question should i buy Lenovo Legion Y540 15.6" FHD IPS 144hz i7-9750H, 16GB, 1.5TB HDD+SSD RTX 2060 or ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15: Ryzen 7 4800HS, 1TB SSD, 16GB, RTX 2060, 15.6" 240Hz FHD? im not sure will be my first laptop to play GTA V and xplane 11 and maybe some illustrator photoshop (not heavy tasks) thank you
good morning
:/
hey guys, im a complete noob with pc, been using mac since '08. i got a laptop to play path of exile and i want to upgrade the gpu but its mounted to the motherboard. i can provide all the specs but idk where to start as far as getting a new motherboard/gpu
i called new egg and they told me to try discord
You cannot get a new gpu in your laptop. You're only option is to buy an external gpu enclosure
Yeah, unless you can micro-solder thats impossible
ah, and then i could pikc between the two
so, how do i go about buying/installing an external gpu enclosure, thats compatible with my laptop?
Does your laptop have a thunderbolt port?
No gpu enclosure for you then
You can copy the text into chat as long as it isn't too long
ok
Have to have thunderbolt 3 unfortunately
Machine Acer - Spin SP315-51

Hard Disk SPCC Solid State Disk (240.0 GB)
Network Card Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter
i paid 300 for it
super cheap just wanted something
External gpus are pricey anyway so your best bet is to buy a new pc.
You payed 300 for this?
eh
Not rly
I bit more expensive than I would like to see but not bad
Just not a gaming machine by any means lol
Better than a mac though
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i only play path of exile but its been pretty demanding lately
so, sell this and get something better?
What do you mean demanding?
like fps drops
What does it ususally run at?
if i turn my resolution down i can get it around 40
which isnt great
but better than the mac w/ bootczmp i was using
I'm impressed. Path of exile is a very light game I take it?
ill list the reccomendedsettings
These are the Path of Exile system requirements
(minimum)
Memory:4 GB
Graphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650
CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Path of Exile File Size:20 GB
OS:Windows XP SP3/Windows 7 SP1/Windows 8
Yeah, okay. This will run on a potato
These are the Path of Exile system requirements
(recommended)
Memory:8 GB
Graphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Path of Exile CPU:Intel Core i7-960
File Size:20 GB
OS:Windows 7 SP1/Windows 10
hahahahaha
could it be that im using windows 10
Maybe, but probably not
No, you just don't meet the recommended requirements
the only thing i dont meet is the gpu right?
thats one thing
And you only have 6GB of ram, which might actually be upgradable
CPU is iffy
and i have an i3
is there anything i can do to upgrade it?
laptops are extremely limited for upgrades
yeah, i now know that. i wish i went with a desktop
Do you want to stick with a laptop or would you be okay with building a desktop?
you guys are very helpful btw
np
iPad is basically a laptop without a keyboard, so yeah 🙂
What's your budget?
Nice
That's definitely enough to build a respectable PC
ok brb
@abstract cloak You wanna do a full budget build or a specs-as-needed build?
Well it depends on if they are planning on playing other games with that PC, and what they are willing to do. But if I were them I would probably do a full budget build so I could have that flexibility to play newer and more demanding games.
ok back
i play path of exile. i played diablo on ps4 but i used to play diablo 2 as a kid on pc
well, he could buy decent parts with that budget
so id like to play that again
so its like kind of budget but kind of a good build
700-800 would work tho?
i dont play fortnite or pubg or any of those games
do you plan on playing only the games you're playing rn?
how hard is it to build it?
do i have to solder pieces together
yeah, maybe starcraft too
Nope, its not that hard at all.
path of exile is all i really play tho
No soldering required, everything just slides into place
and yeet the plug in boom
Well, maybe not boom
